Dreame Technology Spreads Holiday Cheer with Donation of 60 Air Purifiers to Save the Children

60 Air Purifiers Donated to Save the Children as a Gift to Improve Children’s Respiratory Health

FRESNO, Calif., Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the spirit of the Christmas season, global leader in high-end consumer electronics and intelligent manufacturing, Dreame Technology, today announced a donation of 60 flagship Dreame Airpursue PM10 air purifiers to global humanitarian organization Save the Children. These units will benefit child-focused programs in California, helping improve learning environments so kids breathe cleaner and safer air in school and at home, starting from a joyful holiday.

Indoor air quality is a growing concern, particularly for kids, who are more susceptible to respiratory problems due to prolonged exposure to airborne pollutants. Studies cited from the American Lung Association have shown that children are 2-5 times more likely to suffer from asthma and other respiratory diseases in environments with poor air quality. Responding to this challenge, Dreame Technology’s donation aims to help improve children’s indoor environments and reduce these risks while at school.

Dreame Airpursue PM10 is built with family health in mind, tackling the most common indoor air-quality problems using several groundbreaking technologies that are genuine world-firsts. Its intelligent dual-airflow system delivers up to 400 CADR for clean air and a 10-meter Forward Airflow, quickly distributing filtered air throughout larger spaces like classrooms, playrooms, and activity areas. In everyday use, it can fully refresh the air in rooms as large as 100 m² within 15s, significantly lowering exposure to harmful airborne pollutants.

The air purifier also features a pioneering AI-powered tracking technology with automotive-grade millimeter-wave radar, which detects movement within a 5-meter range and 120° field of view. A built-in seven-in-one multi-sense sensor suite constantly monitors PM2.5, PM10, PM1, formaldehyde, TVOCs, temperature, and humidity, enabling the unit to adjust purification in real time. A responsive and balanced purification across the entire room is especially gentle on children, who are far more sensitive to chemicals, fine particles, and allergens—helping reduce the risk of allergies, asthma, and other health issues caused by poor indoor air quality.

“At Dreame Technology, we echo Save the Children’s belief that every child deserves a healthy start in life,” said Yu Hao, Founder and CEO of Dreame Technology. “Clean air is a critical component of this vision, which is why we are proud to partner with Save the Children. Our hope is that this donation will help improve the environments where children live, learn, and play—making it easier for them to stay healthy and thrive.”

Through this collaboration, Save the Children US will help enhance indoor air quality for children in underserved communities. For instance, this donation will support a local school district and a local organization serving Native communities in California’s Central Valley.

Founded in 2017, Dreame Technology integrates “technology for good” into its corporate-responsibility efforts, combining innovation with public-benefit partnerships to serve families and communities globally. This initiative reflects Dreame’s commitment to the North American market and to local collaboration with schools and community organizations. Looking ahead, Dreame will continue to support youth health through projects that bring cutting-edge technology to more classrooms, clinics, and community spaces.

YY Group Reports Unaudited First Half 2025 Earnings Results Highlighting Strong Revenue and Gross Profit Growth

Revenue climbed 33.7% year over year to US$25.8 million

Gross profit soared 79.5% year over year to US$4.3 million, with improved margins

Total assets nearly tripled year over year, strengthening financial flexibility

Entered three new markets globally and acquired three IFM businesses, accelerating expansion and diversifying revenue streams

SINGAPORE, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), a global leader in on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facilities management (IFM), today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company delivered robust performances across its business segments, demonstrating competitive strength, execution excellence and rapid global expansion.

First Half 2025 Financial Highlights:

Total Revenues increased 33.7% to US$25.8 million, compared with US$19.3 million in the same period of 2024. The variance from the previously reported revenue estimate of US$29.4 million was due to a correction to revenue recognition related to a recently acquired business.[1] Gross profit increased by approximately 79.5% year over year to US$4.3 million, supported by greater business scale and disciplined execution. Gross profit margin reached 16.6%, improving from 12.3% in the same period of 2024.

  • Revenues from Manpower Services were US$9.6 million, an increase of 21.4% compared with US$7.9 million in the same period of 2024, driven by the successful scale-up of on-demand workforce solutions and continued global expansion. This segment’s gross profit margin was 16.7%, compared with 16.3% in the same period of 2024.
  • Revenues from IFM Services were US$14.5 million, an increase of 27.1% compared with US$11.4 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to continued contract procurement and business acquisitions. This segment’s gross profit margin was 12.6%, compared with 9.6% in the same period of 2024.
  • Revenues from Technology and Others, a business segment the Company added in 2025, were US$1.7 million. This segment’s gross profit margin was 49.4% in the first half of 2025.

The Company recorded an operating loss of US$7.7 million, primarily due to non-cash share-based compensation expense of US$3.6 million related to its 2023 and 2024 share incentive plans and an impairment loss on intangible assets of approximately $4.1 million. Excluding these items, underlying operational performance remained stable and in line with management expectations. As of June 30, 2025, YY Group maintained a positive working capital position of US$2.3 million, with cash balances of US$1.57 million and total assets of US$44.0 million, up from US$15.4 million six months ago.

Mr. Mike Fu, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, commented, “YY Group is building an integrated workforce solutions and facilities management platform, and our strong performance in the first half of 2025 reflects meaningful progress in our growth strategy. During the period, we expanded our manpower business’s global footprint and broadened our IFM capabilities through multiple business acquisitions, rapidly increasing our scale. In our manpower segment, monthly average users of the YY Circle app rose 20%, demonstrating the growing reach of our tech-powered solutions. We also added over 80 new employers among top-tier companies in the hospitality and food and beverage sectors, strengthening our pipeline of high-quality, recurring revenue while attracting talent to our trained labor pool. Our IFM segment attracted more than 80 new clients, further diversifying our revenue base and creating new cross-selling opportunities. With a larger geographic presence, broadened service portfolio, and expanding partnerships, we are well-positioned to accelerate our growth trajectory in the coming quarters and deliver value to our stakeholders.”

Mr. Jason Phua, Chief Financial Officer of YY Group, added, “We delivered strong year-over-year revenue and gross profit growth in the first half of 2025, driven by solid execution across our business units and increasing contribution from newly added operations. The operating loss for the period was primarily attributable to non-cash share-based compensation expenses and impairment of intangible assets recognized following our recent acquisitions, and does not reflect the underlying strength of our core business. As we continue to scale rapidly, we expect improved operating leverage and greater cost efficiencies to strengthen profitability and support shareholder value.”

First Half 2025 Financial Results

Revenues were US$25.8 million in the first half of 2025, compared with US$19.3 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by accelerated growth across both Manpower and IFM Services.

Cost of revenues was US$21.5 million, compared with US$16.9 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the related revenue increase, as well as higher labor costs across both Manpower and IFM Services.

Gross profit was US$4.3 million, compared with US$2.4 million in the same period of 2024. Gross profit margin was 16.6%, compared with 12.3% in the same period of 2024, primarily driven by ongoing technology advancements and growing scale benefits.

Total operating expenses were US$12.0 million, representing an increase of 701.6% from US$1.5 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of share-based compensation related to the Company’s 2023 and 2024 share incentive plans and impairment loss on intangible assets.

Selling and marketing expenses were US$1.6 million, representing a 1066.1% increase from US$0.1 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based compensation attributable to sales and marketing.

General and administrative expenses were US$7.1 million, representing a 173.2% increase from US$2.6 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based compensation expenses.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was US$8.2 million, compared with a net profit of US$0.6 million in the same period of 2024.

Non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was US$0.6 million, compared with a non-IFRS net profit of US$0.6 million in the same period of 2024.

Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was US$0.207.

Non-IFRS basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was US$0.015.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures 

The Company uses non-IFRS measures such as non-IFRS net loss/profit in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its results for the period. The Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information about its results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making. 

Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to IFRS financial measures or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review non-IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation to their most directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. 

For more information on the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures, please see the section titled “Unaudited reconciliations of IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures.”

[1] Subsequent to the release of estimated financial results for the first half of 2025 on September 8, 2025, the Company identified an error in the recognition of revenue related to an acquisition completed in April 2025. The initial 1H25 revenue estimate inadvertently included contributions from the acquired business as if the acquisition had been effective January 1, 2025. The corrected figures reflect revenue recognition beginning on the actual acquisition date. This adjustment does not affect underlying operational performance or cash flow, and comparative periods remain unchanged.

 

How the World’s Longest Highway Tunnel Conquers the Tianshan Mountains?

BEIJING, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On December 26, 2025, the 22.13-kilometer Tianshan Shengli Tunnel, the world’s longest highway tunnel, officially opened to traffic today, making traveling between northern and southern Xinjiang more convenient and shortening the journey from Urumqi to Korla from seven hours to three hours and a half.


How the World’s Longest Highway Tunnel Conquers the Tianshan Mountains?

Crossing 16 major fault zones under high ground stress, severe cold, and high altitude, the Tianshan Shengli Tunnel project represents a major engineering achievement for China.

To better introduce the Project, the three-episode short documentary series, The Youth Moving Mountains, co-produced by Xinjiang Radio and Television Station and Xufang International Media, CICG, captures this grand endeavor from an international perspective. Hosted by American presenter Jack Klumpp, the series delves deep into the tunnel, unfolding across three episodes: The TunnelersThe Pioneers, and The Guardians. It showcases not only technical feats but also the spirit of the builders.

The episode The Pioneers is particularly compelling. Following the host to the No. 2 shaft worksite at an altitude of 3,613 meters, it focuses on a section director Dong Jialiang, who was born in 1990s. In the uninhabited extreme cold, he and his team started from scratch-transforming from novices into skilled leaders through determination and teamwork.

Phemex Upgrades RPI Ecosystem, Setting New Liquidity Benchmarks Across 210+ Pairs

APIA, Samoa, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, has announced a major upgrade to its Retail Price Improvement (RPI) order system. By deepening strategic ties with top-tier institutional liquidity partners, the enhanced RPI ecosystem now delivers market-leading depth that significantly outperforms industry benchmarks.

Latest data from a comprehensive market audit conducted in late 2025 reveals that the RPI upgrade has triggered a massive surge in liquidity across Phemex’s core assets. Based on internal comparative research of public order book depth (±0.1% from mid-price) relative to top-tier exchange averages:

  • BTCUSDT: Liquidity depth is now 2x the standard industry benchmark.
  • ETHUSDT: Liquidity has reached a staggering 5x the average market liquidity.
  • SOLUSDT: Liquidity has climbed to 5.5x compared to high-performance market standards.
  • Top 12 Trading Pairs: Aggregate liquidity consistently tracks at 3x the baseline of top-tier exchange requirements.

RPI orders are specifically engineered as Maker orders for retail customers (non-API manual traders). This upgrade ensures a much denser order book and more aggressive pricing, narrowing spreads and providing “price improvement” that often exceeds the visible order book.

By ensuring that RPI orders interact exclusively with the retail maker liquidity — effectively bypassing high-frequency API algorithms — Phemex’s upgraded RPI has allowed the platform to maintain a competitive edge in liquidity across more than 210 trading pairs. This reinforces Phemex’s commitment to providing a transparent and high-performance environment where retail users can trade with the same precision and execution quality as institutional giants.

About Phemex
Founded in 2019, Phemex is a user-first crypto exchange trusted by over 10 million traders worldwide. The platform offers spot and derivatives trading, copy trading, and wealth management products designed to prioritize user experience, transparency, and innovation. With a forward-thinking approach and a commitment to user empowerment, Phemex delivers reliable tools, inclusive access, and evolving opportunities for traders at every level to grow and succeed.
